This article is intended for those who read the basic works on my Judeo-Buddhist philosophy, but not my work Deep In the Ocean Is a Hidden Treasure (Manderscheid 2023). I hope that this summary helps to give an overview about the very key points of my latest thoughts. Now what can we say to those

In a secularized world, religion is often negatively connoted and liberal forces tend to see religion as a boundary for a liberal world. One argument which is often brought forth is the alleged radicalism of believers and the normative character of churches which is said no to be according to our times anymore. As such,

On Genesis 1:2

The Creation of the world was a complex issue. While we learn in Genesis 1:1 the simple information that God created the Heavens and the Earth – many Heavens, but only one Eart, the following verses continue solely to speak of the Earth. The Earth “must have been in a state of chaos as it

On Genesis 1:1

Allegory on reductionism

Already a few times, I pointed out that the world is too complex to reduce everything to materialism, which means that something must exist beyond.

The longing for justice is in us

“For centuries, millennia, we have lived in a world where there is injustice, there is great suffering, […] but our longing for justice is still there.
